DISCONNECTING PROCEDURE FOR SHORE POWER CONNECTION
Turn the main breaker on the AC panel to the “OFF” position.
Turn the disconnect switch on the dockside outlet to the “OFF” position.
Disconnect the cable from the dockside outlet and replace the outlet caps. Disconnect the cable from the boat
and replace the inlet cap. Store cable.
AC BREAKER PANEL
The AC panel is located in the head compartment. The following are descriptions of the AC panel equipment
and the breakers that protect the accessories:
AC Main Breaker
Protects the general distribution network. This breaker
is very sensitive. The resulting power surge that
occurs when connecting the dockside cord may cause
the main breaker to trip. To avoid this surge, always
turn the main breaker to the “OFF” position
before plugging or unplugging the shore power
cord.
Polarity Light
The red light indicates reverse polarity current sup-
plied to the panel. This situation will cause the red
light to remain lit. Additionally, a special relay
attached to the main breaker will automatically turn
the main breaker off whenever reverse polarity is
achieved. If reverse polarity is achieved, immediately turn off all cabin AC breakers and dockside outlet
breakers and notify a qualified electrician to check the dockside wiring.
Reverse Polarity Light Test Switch
There is a momentary switch located next to the reversed polarity light in the AC breaker panel. This switch
is used to test the reverse polarity light to ensure that it is functioning. The light can be tested by depressing
the switch whenever the AC system is activated. The reverse polarity light should be tested each time the AC
system is activated. If the light does not activate when the switch is pressed, disconnect the shore power cable
and notify a qualified electrician to check the light and the dockside wiring if necessary.
AC Amp Meter
Indicates the total amperage or current being drawn through the AC panel. It is the total current level of all
of the AC equipment in operation at the time.
AC Volt Meter
Indicates the voltage supplied to the panel.
Battery Charger
Supplies electrical current directly to the automatic battery charger which is accessed through the starboard
access hatch in the storage compartment in the console. The battery charger automatically charges and
maintains the 12-volt batteries simultaneously when activated. It is fully automatic and is equipped with an
amp meter.
